What's special about the Community Transitional School? All the students are homeless or living through poverty-related crisis situations.

"The children receiving services from the Community Transitional School live in homeless and domestic violence shelters, low-priced motels, or on the floor of a friend's home," says Sheriff's Department spokesman Lt. Steve Alexander.

"Some are from families that are on the brink of losing their housing, or are living in their cars. Some have just recently managed to move into permanent housing and all are in situations where poverty and uncertainty are dominant forces."
